OD WP SHORT Wasserdichte Segelshorts Herren für Sommerregatten

OD WP Short was developed in response to a very clear request coming directly from the racecourse. When temperatures rise, wearing a long john can become excessive, yet constant spray, water on deck and aggressive manoeuvres still make waterproof protection for the lower body essential. This led to the idea of applying One Design technology to a short format, truly functional for summer racing. The fabric is exactly the same used for OD Jacket, OD Bib and Spray Top: a waterproof and highly breathable material developed for performance sailing, with a waterproof rating of 20,000 mm and breathability up to 30,000 g/m²/24h. Slam Shield 20 technology is therefore translated into a lighter, more targeted garment, designed to move freely and keep you dry where it really matters. The construction is essential and technical. The fabric’s mechanical stretch follows body movements without stiffness, reducing unnecessary bulk to a minimum. In racing, this means greater freedom during manoeuvres and a constant sense of control, even when the boat accelerates. Waist adjustment allows the short to adapt to different sailing set-ups while maintaining a stable fit at all times. The back seat is reinforced, a key choice to increase resistance and durability in a garment designed for intensive onboard use. A dedicated tool holder for items such as a Leatherman is included and designed to avoid bulk; closures use high-quality YKK zippers, reliable and engineered for intensive use in the marine environment. OD WP Short is a niche product, but extremely purposeful. It is designed for racers looking for a technical alternative to a long john in the warmer months, staying dry without sacrificing comfort and freedom of movement. A key element of the SLAM One Design system.
